What is VPS Hosting?

A Virtual Private Server, or VPS, is a hosting service that uses virtualisation technology to provide you with dedicated resources on a server shared with other users.

VPS hosting differs from shared hosting in that it provides a private virtual environment, even though multiple VPS instances share the same physical server. With a VPS server, you get your own private environment with dedicated CPU, RAM, and storage at a smaller scale and lower cost compared to private servers. This makes hosting your business more secure and stable than a traditional shared server.

VPS hosting provides you with a virtual server that simulates a physical server, but in reality, the machine is shared with multiple other users. Think of it as creating partitions on your computer when you want to run more than one OS. 

VPS providers use a virtualisation technology, like a hypervisor, to install a virtual layer on top of the server’s operating system (OS). This virtual layer divides the server into partitions and allows users to install their own software and OS. This makes a virtual private server both virtual and private, separating you from other server users at the OS level while giving you complete control over the server environment.

Why Do You Need a VPS Server?

 

You need a virtual private server when:

  • You’re experiencing higher levels of traffic that exceed the limit for a shared hosting plan
  • You’ve outgrown your shared hosting limits, but don’t need a full server yet
  • You need a stable environment that effortlessly runs business-critical applications, websites or databases
  • You want a budget-friendly, flexible and scalable hosting solution that grows as your business grows

It’s worth upgrading to a VPS server if you’ve grown out of the resource limitations of shared hosting and are looking for the perks of a dedicated server. But if you handle sensitive data or process online payments, it’s always a good idea to have a VPS hosting plan from the start for a secure, stable, and high-performance environment that lowers the risk of cybersecurity breaches.

BlackBox Hosting is ready to support your business with our UK-based managed, dedicated VPS hosting infrastructure that delivers exceptional performance, industry compliance, and dedicated support. Contact us to get started.
